abstract = {The perception of temporal intervals changes during the
life-span, and especially older adults demonstrate specific
impairments of timing abilities. Recently, we demonstrated
that timing performance and cognitive status are correlated
in older adults, suggesting that timing tasks can serve as a
behavioral marker for the development of dementia.
Easy-to-administer and retest-capable timing tasks therefore
have potential as diagnostic tools for tracking cognitive
decline. However, before being tested in a clinical cohort
study, a further validation and specification of the
original findings is warranted. Here we introduce several
modifications of the original task and investigated the
effects of temporal context on time perception in older
adults (> 65 years) with low versus high scores in the
Montreal Cognitive Assessment survey (MoCA) and a test of
memory functioning. In line with our previous work, we found
that temporal context effects were more pronounced with
increasing memory deficits, but also that these effects are
stronger for realistic compared to abstract visual stimuli.
Furthermore, we show that two distinct temporal contexts
influence timing behavior in separate experimental blocks,
as well as in a mixed block in which both contexts are
presented together. These results replicate and extend our
previous findings. They demonstrate the stability of the
effect for different stimulus material and show that timing
tasks can reveal valuable information about the cognitive
status of older adults. In the future, these findings could
serve as a basis for the development of a diagnostic tool
for pathological cognitive decline at an early, pre-clinical
stage.},
